Top Tips To Boost And Retain Your Confidence At Work

Confidence begets success, and that success can help to build further confidence that can take you further and further up the virtuous cycle.

Building up your confidence in your skillset helps ensure that in a high-pressure environment you can operate at your best and help to boost your promotion prospects, which is the reason why many rising stars use workplace confidence training to give them the transferable skills they need to succeed.

However, many people have more of the skills they need to boost their confidence than they think, and here are some top tips to take full advantage of these skills and retain your workplace confidence.

 Start With Compassion

Part of the reason people struggle to improve their confidence is that they are not aware of their baseline or that it is fine to not feel confident all of the time.

Show compassion and acceptance for yourself and allow that to build a foundation that you can build confidence on top of. What matters is you do the best you can and allow yourself to continually grow.

Having this foundation can also allow you to examine and challenge your limiting beliefs and build a confident mindset that endures any challenges.

Celebrate Success, No Matter The Size

A win is a win, and every success should be recognised and celebrated because this helps to highlight your progressions, how you build your competencies, and how to turn those small but meaningful wins each day into major victories as we move further along.

Every day, set yourself a small daily task, either individually or with your manager, and celebrate these successes. Confidence, like any muscle or any skill, needs to be practised and exercised regularly.

As with any other goal, ensure that they are specific, measurable attainable, relevant and time-based.

Embrace Support And Help

Nobody succeeds alone, and it is the strength of our mentors, our colleagues and our support network that enable us to reach our potential. Never feel that asking for help or admitting you do not know something takes away from your skills, abilities and knowledge base.
